Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4053071A1] Systems and methods provide assistance to an operator of a material handling vehicle (10). A training reinforcement assistance device (38) has a frame supporting an optical system (46), the optical system being configured to display virtual content on a display (74), and to enable viewing of at least a portion of a surrounding environment; an imager (74) operably coupled with the frame; an accelerometer (70) operably coupled with the frame and configured to detect an orientation of the frame; an eye-tracking system (42) operably coupled with the frame and configured to detect a viewing direction of an operator; and a controller (50) operably coupled with the imager and the display. The controller receives environmental information from at least one of the imager, the accelerometer, or the eye-tracking system and to overlay the image of the environment to assist the operator in maneuvering a material handling vehicle based on vehicle kinematics of the material handling vehicle.
